I am frustrated waiting for this book to arrive. I ordered it last week and got a notice yesterday that it was being just sent out

I took an advance peek at Rizzoli. They had to pick me up off the floor. The pictures are so divine, they're better than the real thing!There is a recipe for this tarte tatin from Blé Sucré too. 10. Among the 27 Home Remedies for Seasonal Affective Disorder suggested you should head south.

For me, a daily dose of Paris Breakfasts is the prescription to cure my Winter Blahs. I think of it as a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, so that makes you "practically perfect in every way!"

Thank you, Carol, for all that you do to bring Paris to the uninitiated (like me).

When we find ourselves lingering in the doldrums, the best thing to do is look to the horizons for those gold-tinged clouds that carry the winds that will propel us forwardand toward...perhaps, those southern climes.The sun is smiling on Philly this day.Bill

You may want to consider donating the price of one of our water colours to the Haitian relief efforts; that would help you feel better, perhaps. Pouting over the delayed delivery of a book or wishing for yet more and more chocolate and pastry at a time like this, or any time for that matter, is extremely unattractive and therefore extremely un-Parisian. I have donated to Charity: Water and my friend in Paris has made a large donation to the American Red Cross. You might encourage your followers to do the same.

You may be cold in NY but we in FL are not used to this! A friend in D.C. put me onto your blogs which I devour daily now. My husband has even offered to put a towel under my chin as your blogs make me drool so much. I am trying to find a recipe for macarons, but it appears that the egg white filling is not cooked. C'est vrai en France aussi? I have quite a few French cookbooks but none have a recipe for macarons.

Have you ever heard of using full spectrum light bulbs to help with the seasonal blues? (OTT lite) I keep telling people to try it yet I still haven't. They are so expensive. I keep wondering if it would help.

i haven't commented on your blog before....but you had me laughing so hard i had to at least mention that your sense of humor will get you through those SAD or WB days.....sending you some southern california sun : )

One of my fondest fantasies is being retired and being able to lie around all winter long napping and reading and eating chocolate....till then, the only thing that works for me is the advent of spring!

CarolDown here in Florida, I have WD,WB, and SAD all rolled into one...Seeing your pictures and comments has really cheered me up.Thank you for sharing PattyPS I think I have made a dozen pots of homemade white hot chocolate since I have been here.

The Parisian duck is so cute. The glazed pastries, makes me speechless. Thank you for sharing a piece of Paris with the unfortunate ones like us (those who are not in Paris or don't get so often a chance to travel there) once again :)

This is the best way to combat the winter blues that I've ever seen! Your post really cheered me up when I was feeling super-down this week. As as thank you, I've linked to you in my weekly roundup: http://www.yogademia.com/2010/01/yoginis-choice-24-january-2010.html.

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
